WHEN IT'S TIME TO PARTY WE WILL PARTY...moderately.
Another Friday night, another party. I am completely out of place at these parties now, I just find myself going through the motions and I just don't give a damn anymore. People come and go in life and these "social events" hardly provide any grounds for anything deeper than penis/vaginal insertion (even then it's fuckin' sketchy). I find myself not even caring enough for these people to even pursue that anymore. When I do find a girl that shows equal interest she turns out to be either taken, crazy, damaged goods, been banged rotten by a friend, or all of the above.
Well NO MORE I say.
DTA ALL DAY (or maybe DTB? Either way, I'll probably end up PIITB).
Peace for none
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT:
The 2am "After Party" at Del Taco with a Fugees cover
Haul Ass.
One of my buddies clients rented out the drag strip at Irwindale Speedway to test his tuned Viper through the 1/4 mile and I must say... the thing was a fuckin' beast!
His first run through the 1/4 mile yielding a "slow" 7.95...
(Listen to my ignorant ass: "12's?")

Pirates life for me
Full pirate themed backyard, pull/grotto/jacuzzi, a separate two-story pirate house in the corner, outdoor game room. Pretty damn nuts. Will be doing a legit shoot there soon...and maybe orgies. Yeah, definitely.
I'll be posting pics of that too.

Trespassing Encouraged
Mission to Gnarlesville quick preview (yes, I was filming with my point 'n shoot and shooting a sequence with my 1DS at the same time - Multi-task master over here):

Canon Cult
I have become a victim of the Canon conspiracy - they got me with one camera (My lovely 1DS MKII) and now I find myself investing in more of their products without even a real nod at another brand.
Without further "Apu" I present my latest Canon: the SD790is.
I must admit that out of all the technological failures in my life, so far this one has made me happy since day one. It's nice not having to lug around a ginormous camera everywhere in case a photo op arises. After having a horrible experience with a HP digital camera from 6 years ago (the first 5mp camera at that), I have finally rejoined the ranks of the point and shooters.
I look forward to sharing with you the random crap that happens in my life through the snapshot aesthetic.
Taking a picture of Johnny taking a picture of me...with the same camera.
2009 - Dude, I got a Dell! Oh, and it's a piece of shit.
WARNING: RANT DRIVEN POST
So I got this Dell XPS M1530 fully loaded and maxed out, and I must say, it's a piece of shit.
Granted, it looks great, has potential, and I got a pretty good deal on it, but boy, now I see why Dell threw in a 2 year warranty free of charge. Let me start from the beginning: I ordered this laptop on December 3rd of 08, I received it on the 23rd of the month after being quoted a delivery date of one week. So I finally receive it, power up, and prepare myself for awesomeness and of course that led to immediate disappointment because low and behold the speakers are absolutely horrid - no bass, low volume, like my $700 HP from 2 years ago blows this thing out of the water. So far I've had to replace the speakers twice after they blew out within two weeks of each other, so now I just use headphones (I suggest you doing the same, or get external speakers). Yes Dell has in home warranty service, but they are rarely Dell techs, Dell just contracts out some random dudes to come to your house, and let me tell you, there are some freakin' nut jobs out there. I'd regale you with stories of Masonic, Illuminati conspiracy theorist, and sadomasochistic techs, but for my own sanity I'm putting it behind me. Next, the touch-pad - wow, what a piece of crap. It's too small, performs inconsistently -random sluggish performance even after driver "fixes" from Dell, so I bought a laser mouse and moved on. Oh, did I mention that you can't play any high end games without being plugged in? Yeah, that's right, this laptop that is supposed to be a portable media and gaming powerhouse can't even play semi high end games without being plugged in for sufficient power or the whole thing just shuts down. Preeettyy lame Dell. Speaking of power, invest in mulitple 9-cell batteries, they'll last you about an hour and a half each if you're using your laptop for editing or gaming. I can't imagine what kind of sick joke the owners of the 6-cell batteries are going through right now.
Also, where the hell are the extra accessories (dust wipe, ear buds, laptop cover), Dell?? Way to cut corners. Good thing I still own my HP and the accessories it came with like earphones, and dust wipe that were included in its budget price. The m1530 laptop doesn't feel like it's made of high quality parts, and its reliability is very questionable for me at this point, I find myself backing up my files on an external hard drive almost immediately after changing them. After having a great experience with my Dell desktop I boasted Dell's greatness to all of my friends who questioned why I was purchasing a Dell. I feel like Dell has betrayed its following and has let go of its quality control.
Dell, stop jerking people around, I waited almost a full month for this damn laptop to be delivered to me after I had ordered it- nothing like getting an email stating that your order has been delayed again. Fix the speakers for christ sake, a $1000+ laptop should not have budget speakers, and invest in your products and customer satisfaction again.
After all is said and done, I'm still using my Dell laptop...with HP parts.
It's not so bad when you add enough accessories to qualify this as a desktop computer instead of a laptop.
3.5/5
